What it does

• Gives even poured puddles and acrylic skins
• Results in a smooth surface, with no crazing, cracking or bubbles
• Dries to a high gloss, wet-look finish
• Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
• Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
• Maintains color opacity
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• For best pours, start with with a tablespoon of Soft Body color to a cup of Pouring Medium (around 5% color to 95% medium) and adapt to suit your technique
• To use with Acrylic Ink or Heavy Body Acrylic, adjust ratio to get your desired consistency
• Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
• Use as a regular fluid medium extender - mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the volume and viscosity you want
• Crazing and cracking can occur when the flow heights are very uneven so ensure your poured surface is level when drying
• To achieve a matte-look pour, a final application of Matte Spray Varnish over a dry Pouring Medium/Soft Body pour will give a smoother, more fluid result than using a matte paint or medium

How not to use it

• Do not shake or vigorously over-stir as this can impact the smooth appearance when dry
• Do not use with any non-acrylic media
